Chanel – Picky and Pushy

22 Apr

Hip hip hooray for Karl Lagerfeld and his fantastic line, Karl Lagerfeld Paris. He has successfully democratized fashion by creating a chic and stylish line any girl can afford!

The owner of the store explained that it was designed by a young fashion designer from Rome, Gemma Del Vecchio. Gemma has a home on Capri and we made arrangements to meet.
